Marble tables, bentwood chairs and green velvet banquettes inside Café Lindgruber

A Viennese coffee house, kept the old way

Marble tables, waiters in waistcoats and coffee on a silver tray with a glass of water. Stay as long as you like.

Nobody will rush you here

Order one Melange and you may keep your table all afternoon. That is the rule of the Viennese coffee house, and we have kept it since Josef Lindgruber opened these doors in 1912.

Read one of twenty newspapers, play a round in the billiard room, or just watch the Lange Gasse go by.
